Psst. Janet, You Have An Opponent Beating You Like A Drum. (And His Name Isn’t Susan Collins)

Democrat Janet Mills put out a new ad questioning whether Maine’s Republican U.S. senator has “enough courage.”

But the real question is whether Gov. Mills realizes she has a senate primary opponent who’s beating her 2:1.

The latest Polymarket odds give Democrat Graham Platner 67 percent and Mills 34 percent.

Kalshi shows the same problem for Mills – major statistical defeat.

So before dreamer Mills even gets to Susan Collins in November, she first needs to dispatch her fellow Democrat.

Not “enough courage” to face that reality, apparently.

No question five-term Collins has problems – Polymarket and Kalshi both show Dems 40 points ahead in the general.

But “enough courage” to show Janet she’s not likely to be the governor’s trophy.
